"My husband is afraid of them and so am I." A leading German politician inadvertently admitted fear

Elif Eralpová, the leader of the Left party in Berlin, accidentally sent internal notes to journalists expressing her fears about extremists within her party. She acknowledged concerns about local organizations collaborating with groups linked to Hamas. In an interview, she was questioned about antisemitism and extremist ties among party members, admitting some involvement with pro-Palestinian activists. The incident complicates coalition negotiations following the Left's electoral victory. Despite the controversy, Eralpová remains committed to her candidacy for mayor and prioritizes combating organized crime and terrorism.
